Port Lympne Mansion Hotel

Fantastic everything , I’m obsessed with this place. If you love animals and history this is the place for you

Brilliantly quirky - staying in a zoo. Convenient for the channel tunnel. Lovely rooms and facilities.

A wonderful hotel with delightful well appointed rooms and excellent facilities to enhance a stay. Would stay again.

Good location, buggies and staff

The place is magnificent, with beautiful terraces and eating spaces, the staff are uniformly friendly, and polite. Whilst there are people willing to help, it is not possible for someone with mobility issues to get everywhere. We stayed in the Charlie Chaplin suite - a beautiful set of rooms overlooking the hippo fountain. A lovely sitting room with tea, coffee (Nespresso machine with pods) and bottled water, comfy sofa, table and chairs, and a TV. The bathroom is vast and very beautiful - however it is impossible to maintain a steady temperature in the shower, the flow is quite feeble, and the mirror is not above the basin but on the adjacent wall. The bedroom is lovely, with a comfortable bed, large dresser, quiet fan for those warmer evenings, pretty chandelier and side lamps, with a little nook for reading. We had breakfast at the Bear Lodge - wonderful! Great choice of options, fresh juice, and perfect morning coffee. Highly recommended.

As someone who uses a mobility scooter, it was quite difficult to get around - there are golf buggies, which can do the bulk of the work, but as everyone with limited mobility knows, it's the last bit - the steps, the thresholds, the stairs. But it's a historic building so obviously some things simply cannot be done. If you are able to walk a little, you will be fine, but do ask them to take you as close to the doors as possible,

If you love the glorious English countryside, wonderful architecture & grounds, fantastic views, amazing staff and incredible animals then ignore the headline price as this place is an absolute bargain as you get all of the above in abundance PLUS Howletts too. As these aren't performing acts in a circus there are no guarantees who you will see and just like us some are early risers, some late. The same applies to the temperature so do a little planning to get those extra special memories. All the staff were superb but extra special mentions are required for Freya (The tooth fairy 😉) and Jensen at the concierge, and the lovely Ruby in the Garden Room. You three put the icing on a very special visit, THANK YOU!
